Here's another echo: The blue-black is nice. How about this to complete?

thanx guys. when i invisioned this project i never thought it would have taken this much time,effort,and money but it all paid off when i finished it yesterday. i appreciate the kind words.
Hameed- i thought about doing the whole center section but left it alone for now so it wouldn't be so much overkill. now that i i have everything situated, i might consider doing it, don't know yet.
JT- yes its a lot of work to get a lot of stock OEM "look". the fact that you and some others pointed that out means i acheived what i wanted with the conversion, a "what it wasn't black before?" look and feel
svt- the gray dome light buttons actually match up well in person with the gray in the granite design
dsmart- yes its the RMM grill, fixed and better than new.
gs3tek- J is right they messed up my shift **** and have ordered me a new one and it should be here in the next week with the granite design as the middle part wrapped in blk.

In what way did they messed up the ****? Leather color or wood matching? I'm sure you'll post some pictures when it's done.

It looks HELLA nice.
The baby seat is too much
I'm kinda glad I don't have Swede anywhere, My kids are 8 months old and a 2 year old.
You should see how much milk, juice and formula are all over my interior
Luckily just a little soapy water and some elbow grease it comes off pretty easy.
Don't get me wrong it looks so sweet but once you go to the front facing seat, no more bottles for baby (unattended that is)

The best just got better! Simply mah-velous, simply mah-velous!
I love the center console as is, for some reason it has a custom yet oem look (the finish)
I love the headliner and visors too. Respect has to given for undertaking such a project and having the determination to see it through!

That's really what modding is all about. Not only making an ultimate change but taking the time, the patience to achieve the end result you'll be happy with. Now your car is even more individual than before. What did the colonel on that A-Team show say....."I love it when a plan comes together."
